CHAPTER 12

The following day, Maddy rushed up to Dimitri, who was coming out of the workshop, and said, "We just heard from Sharon. Katy made it through the surgery, and although she's still in intensive care, she's off the ventilator and doing well."

"Thank God," Dimitri said. "How long will she be there?"

"A few more days in ICU, then she'll be moved to the general cardiac ward."

"Did Sharon say when she could have visitors?" Dimitri asked.

"As soon as she's out of ICU, as long as we come in small numbers," Maddy replied.

"We'll do it. Meanwhile, I have the workshop to myself right now."

Maddy smiled and darted inside, and in an instant she was caught up in Dimitri's arms in a passionate kiss, but before long she broke the kiss, and said, "This is too risky, but we'll have twenty minutes in the limo on the way to and from the Coyote tonight."

"Do you realize how inadequate that is?" Dimitri asked.

"Yes," Maddy replied, then gave him one last kiss and left.

The next four days passed in a blur of shows at the Coyote at night, in which Dimitri began with his opening materialization followed by levitations and card flourishes, the rope tying escape, walking through the wall, Sleeping Beauty, and his regular finale, the water torture cell escape, and by the end of the week, Maddy felt confident on stage in a way that she could never have imagined two weeks before. She'd even mastered walking on the stiletto heels. And in the limo on the way home each night, their sessions together became increasingly heated, until she was beginning to think Adam was right in that unplanned things could happen, yet she still managed to stop what they were doing before they were beyond the point of no return.

During the day, however, they saw little of each other. Dimitri spent his time in the workshop, and she was occupied helping Jayne with guests, as the ranch was in the middle of the summer season. But on occasion she'd slip away to the workshop where she and Dimitri would engage in a passionate embrace, while at the same time she'd be mulling over when to tell her parents about their relationship, because as the days passed, Maddy was increasingly more certain that she'd be leaving with Dimitri.

Her father would use the issue of Jeremy and Billy being in witness protection to stop her, but the family was under no legal mandate to stay clear of Las Vegas, though Mario Moretti's iron-fisted demand held a lot of weight, psychologically.

On the Sunday preceding the last week of Dimitri's run at the Coyote, Maddy and Dimitri were in the stables, where Maddy had just finished working with Dimitri on the basics of neck reining, when Adam came in, and addressing Dimitri, said to him, "I could use another drover to move cattle tomorrow. It's just overnight. We'll be moving around seventy-five head and I'm shorthanded. One of my wranglers and I will be up front
